Mention the word 'bling' to Mrs gadgetshop and she'll reach for her Bing Crosbie crooners collection of retro CDs. She just doesn't get the modern day parlance about street-level jewellery, lumps of ice, golden chains and so forth.

So now here's a rather natty way to enjoy the latest in jewels that are, so Geoff my main man informs me: 'seriously bad an' comin' up from da streets'. By which I assume he means 'respectable daywear for the broad boulevards of Chalfont St Giles'.

Whatever he means, I think he means it's good.

The Ring Thing is a Size 10 ring designed for one's middle - that is to say, social - finger, that simply pops off to become a truly handy bottle opener. All off which means that, in the event of being unable to open a beer (and unwilling to risk one's teeth), the sequence of events goes like this: wear ring, remove ring, open beer, drink beer. Brilliance.

And, being precision-crafted stainless steel, it's tough, durable and ever-so robust. It won't rust - not even when you're doing the dishes with your homies - and is designed for a lifetime of wearing, opening and drinking.

Of all the bottle-opening devices in this gadgetshop online ordering tool, this is the one that's not Swiss, not part of a keyring and not built-in to a coaster. All of which makes it worthy of purchase in its own right.

Massive respec'.
